Estradiol (transdermal formulation) — a bioidentical form of estrogen formulated for absorption through the skin.
Apply the patch to clean, dry skin as directed by your clinician. Rotate application sites to help reduce skin irritation and support consistent absorption.
Possible side effects may include:
Seek medical help urgently if you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden severe headache, vision changes, or leg swelling/pain.
Estradiol is a form of estrogen. A patch delivers estradiol through the skin to support hormone levels in a more steady, consistent way. It’s commonly considered in clinician-guided hormone care when symptoms and labs suggest estrogen support may be beneficial.
The patch releases estradiol through the skin into the bloodstream. Estradiol binds to estrogen receptors throughout the body and helps regulate processes linked to thermoregulation, bone maintenance, mood, sleep, and urogenital health. The transdermal route is often used to support more stable day-to-day levels.
After a clinical evaluation, your provider prescribes the appropriate dose and schedule. You’ll receive clear instructions on application, site rotation, and follow-up monitoring. Consistency matters — missed or inconsistent use can reduce effectiveness and make symptoms harder to interpret.
Estradiol Patch is offered as part of a clinician-guided hormone replacement (hrt) plan when appropriate. Your clinician will explain why it fits your goals and medical history.
This treatment supports the targeted biological pathway related to its indication. Your clinician will explain what to expect for your specific use case.
Use it exactly as prescribed. Follow your label instructions and your clinician’s guidance for timing, dose, and ramp-up.
Apply to clean, dry skin as prescribed. Press firmly to ensure adhesion and rotate application sites to reduce irritation.
Change frequency depends on your prescription. Follow your schedule exactly and don’t cut patches unless instructed.
If a patch falls off, follow your product instructions for replacement timing. Contact your clinician if this happens repeatedly.
Skin irritation, headache, or breast tenderness can occur depending on the therapy.
Rotate sites, apply to dry skin, avoid lotions under the patch, and contact your clinician if irritation persists.
If you have a uterus and are using systemic estrogen, progesterone is often recommended. Your clinician will confirm your regimen.
Many symptoms improve within weeks, but timing varies. Review progress with your clinician.
Replace as soon as you remember and continue your schedule. Don’t apply extra patches without guidance.
Store at room temperature away from heat and direct sunlight, unless the label says otherwise.
